If any of you have participated in NaNoWriMo... I'm so sorry. (Trust me, they know what I'm talking about)
For those of you who are blissfully unaware, I find it is my job -No, my duty- to inform you of this wondrous occasion. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. As the title implies, this holiday is about taking all of November to write a novel. Sounds easy for some of us, but when you actually start to visualize your piece and write down the image in your head it becomes a lot of work. Not to say it isn't fun, but the work is troubling to most. There is a ground rule of 50,000 words for your piece (wow). Most people give up; it certainly is a test of persistence. You only have until the end of November after all.
Some famous books started out this way, like Sara Gruen's Water For Elephants.
Weither you participate or not, I have to offer kudos to those few who do. I might try, I will most likely fail, but it will be a little more enjoyable than what I already have planned for the month. So in the words of an old PlayStation videogame...
Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!
